PREPOSITIONS THAT COME BEFORE ADJECTIVE CLAUSES

In spoken English the preposition usually goes at the end of the clause, but in formal written
English it goes at the beginning of the clause.

Informal
That was the man whom I was referring to.

clause. The relative pronouns which, that, who, and whom can be omitted when
they are the object of the adjective clause.
OMISSION OF THE RELATIVE PRONOUN
When the relative pronoun is the subject of the adjective clause, it cannot be omitted.

If
the
relative
pronoun

the
object
of
the
adjective

language. (Whereby cannot be omitted.)
PREPOSITIONS THAT COME BEFORE ADJECTIVE CLAUSES
Adjective Clause terkadang dalam bentuk ‘preposition’
There are a number of ways by which a message can be sent.
In spoken English the preposition usually goes at the end of the clause, but in formal written
English it goes at the beginning of the clause.
Formal
That was the man to whom I was referring
Informal
That was the man whom I was referring to.
Task 7.2.4
Circle the number of the sentence where the pronoun/adverb or a preposition is missing.
